By the metric you state below, your car uses about 10x the fuel that the Prius does. I presume you mean to say L per 10Km, although I fail to understand why you don't list "L per 100Km" like virtually all the fuel economy statistics do. It's irrelevant, though, as the diesel A6 is/was not available in the US, never mind the difference in its operating emissions output.
BTW: On similar sized (to the A6) diesel automobiles I've rented in the UK, the fuel economy has never been anywhere near the numbers you're quoting. 30-40 miles per Imp gallon is what I've seen. My old Peugeot 504D ran 32 MPG (US gallons) as an average.
